Well played!
Depends how I get on with the ship design tools, but it would be cool to fly around with some of the ships I've been spamming in the LTFC
Best place to put a huge spinally mounted weapon
Good place, but maybe not the best
That's not a spinal gun but a peripheral spaceship.
Yo moms order arrived.
1. @Der_Foe: Sprayed my coffee on my keyboard. Well almost, it was perilously close.
This is a valid question, as it is quite quiet around nowadays.

For me, the LTFC has two components:
- Firstly, the "external" (i.e. not self-given) topic and deadline is a motivation to actually think a bit outside the usual flow and stop procrastinating and get an output. This also guarentee a certain exposition (there will be people looking at my stuff, it's not just hanging in my private room). It also allows to compare with other work and learn by watching/asking.
This is important (for me) as otherwise, I keep refining models, or testing stuff, but usually do not work towards a definitive end-product.- Secondly, the judging gives very valuable feedback (the rank and prizes are for me not very important).
I guess the second point is the one which is difficult to realize without a formal competition and that has the most work to find and motivate judges; but the first point could be realised without much workload: as you said simply: next topic is capital ships. Let's put a (generous) deadline like end of April and the game is running, no promise that there will be any judging or feedback. This is basically opening one new sticked thread every 1-3 months and archiving the older one at the same time.
Theoretically, it could be done almost self-organised in a common thread, but for getting exposition the community manager badge is certainly helping!
And if the ideas run dry for the topics, we can make a team brainstorm to get a list and revisit older topics (would also be funny, btw).
So the TLDR:
Until activity picks up again: Make a bi-monthly new thread with a topic and archive it afterwards; no judging but feedback welcome in the discussion thread.
And if there is no entry during one period, it's not dramatic, the next topic may motivate more people again.
Ah yeah, you didn't. Though tbf I didn't have much time until last week anyway (busy annoying banks and stuff
Maybe extend the posting deadline by an extra day or so? Some of use seem to have trouble posting within the current one
